That's basically it--I can read the transitions and probably figure out the GCR, but the zoned recording is going to take some work--taken all together, more work than I'm willing to put in for a one-time job. I've got some pressing medical issues and don't really have the time to dedicate for this. A working Vicky would solve the problem, but I understand that not many have survived in working condition. Funny--I used to pass the plant in Scotts Valley off of highway 17 on my way to the coast. --Chuck
